Notes about discs
Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO
CDs may be intentionally set by software
producers. Since this player plays DVDs and
VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback
features may not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO
CDs.
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in
a car parked in direct sunlight as the
temperature may rise considerably inside the

copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with

by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
•
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, no audio out will be output from the analogue stereo jacks.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions
when the analogue stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system.
•
Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in
damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
•
•
•
DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”
If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

About MP3 audio tracks
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs
(DVD-ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG-
1 Audio Layer III) format. However, the discs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format
(UDF) for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs
Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives
and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on Multi Session/Border discs
If MP3 audio tracks are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play
MP3 audio tracks in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD
format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first
session/border will be played back.
Notes
•
If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the
data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.
•
•
The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format.
The player may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet
Write format.
•
•
If both video data and MP3 audio tracks exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only
the video data.
This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different
specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage.

Tree 4
Tree 5
album
track

(Example: E contains G but 6 is played before 7.)
albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t D t E t F t G.
Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) do not appear in the list.
Tips
•
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be
played in that order.
•
A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be
played back.
Notes
•
•
•
Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATADVD, the playback
order may differ from the illustration above.
The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 1000 albums
and tracks in the DATA CD or DATA DVD.
A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.
Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first
9 MP3 files can be recognized.
•
Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.

About JPEG image files
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-
ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in JPEG format.
However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet
format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize
the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi
Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives

If both video data and JPEG image files exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only
the video data.
•
A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.
Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first
9 MP3 files can be recognized.
Note on Multi Session/Border discs
If JPEG image files are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play
JPEG image files in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD
format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first
session/border will be played back.

that order.

Glossary
Chapter (page 33)
DVD (page 6)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same
as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte),
which is 7 times that of a CD. The data
capacity of a double-layer and single-sided
DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-
sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and
double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format,
one of the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture data is
compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its
original size. The DVD also uses a variable
rate coding technology that changes the data
to be allocated according to the status of the
picture. Audio information is recorded in a
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio
presence.
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital
audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio
systems. Good channel separation is realized
because all of the channel data are recorded
discretely and little deterioration is realized
because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 53)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround
sound. When the input signal contains a
surround component, the Pro Logic process
outputs the front, centre and rear signals.
The rear channel is monaural.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
DVD-RW (page 6)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR
mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created
in Video mode have the same format as a
DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR
(Video Recording) mode allow the contents
to be programmed or edited.
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed.
This technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. DTS provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital
audio.
Good channel separation is realized because
all of the channel data is recorded discretely
and little deterioration is realized because all
channel data processing is digital.
DVD+RW (page 6)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
format that is comparable to the DVD
VIDEO format.

Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that
while the Interlace format can show 25 or 30
frames (50-60 fields) in one second, the
Progressive format can show 50-60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper. This player
is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive
format.
Title (page 33)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
Track (page 33)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
